Marcos Ojeda (@nsfmc) is a designer living
in San Diego and working remotely for a tech company. He graduated from
MIT with a math+CS degree and the Rhode Island School of Design with an
MFA. He's one of those mythical design+engineering unicorns that I
alluded to in PG Vlog #79 - Market Demand for Design+Engineering Skills.

I've known Marcos since our college days at MIT when we both worked on
the 7th floor of the Computer Science and A.I. Lab (CSAIL). He was in
Rob Miller's user interface design group (where I ended up a decade
later as a postdoc in 2013–2014), and I was in Mike Ernst's
program analysis group. I hadn't talked to him in years, but our paths
crossed again just last year when he arrived in town as his wife joined
the faculty at UC San Diego.

In this PG Podcast, Marcos and I start off talking
about his current experiences working remotely, and then we meander onto
a variety of topics at the intersection of design and engineering.
